President Obama hasn’t been able to get everything done he promised in his first 20 months in office.

That’s true, and the news is full of how Democrats are frustrated and discouraged and not “excited” about November’s Election.

BUT WHY IS THIS?

Because Republicans have said NO to everything he wanted to do!

They have filibustered EVERYTHING handed to them!

SO, do we just throw in the towel and give up?

DEMOCRATS, DO YOU WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING WE’VE FOUGHT SO HARD TO WIN?

We can’t afford to lose what Democratic Congress HAS accomplished — LOOK AT THE LIST! We should be PROUD of our Democratic accomplishments and willing to fight for them:
